Tuesday, October 10, 7:00 pm – 8:00 pm Eastern – The Science Behind Foliage, Online


Fall foliage in New England is beautiful, unique, and ecologically important. Specific trees, climate, and weather are all needed to create the wide range of colors we witness. Learn why some trees change color and shed their leaves, and why the display varies from year to year. The colorful foliage display and subsequent leaf drop are part of an annual cycle that maintains ecologically healthy habitats. In this online program you’ll discover the impact climate change is having on foliage, how fallen leaves function in an ecosystem, and how ‘leaving the leaves’ in your yard or neighborhood can help mitigate the impacts of climate change.

This program is one part of a 4-session online Fall Phenomena Series. By registering for the series, you get access to all 4 sessions for the price of 3. You do not need to register for other sessions, or the full series, to enjoy this one. Mass Audubon members $15, nonmembers $20. Register at www.massaudubon.org
